NOTIFICACIONES DE CONFORMIDAD CON EL ARTÍCULO 22 
DEL ACUERDO SOBRE VALORACIÓN EN ADUANA 
Preguntas de los Estados Unidos a la delegación de Indonesia
 
  
 Las siguientes preguntas se plantearon en la reunión del Comité de Valoración en Aduana 
celebrada el 7 de mayo de 2009.  Su distribuc ión se hace a petición de la delegación de los 
Estados Unidos. 
_______________ 
 
 
Preguntas a Indonesia
 
 Como hemos mencionado, tenemos entendido que Indonesia ha establecido prescripciones en 
materia de inspección previa a la expedición (IPE) para una amplia gama de mercancías.  El Decreto 56, que entró en vigor anteriormente este año, exige que las mercancías sean objeto de una 
"verificación técnica" en el puerto de expedición an tes de su importación con destino a Indonesia.   
 Sin embargo, al parecer Indonesia no ha notificado al Comité esta prescripción de materia de 
IPE, como exige el artículo 5 del Acuerdo de la  OMC sobre Inspección Previa a la Expedición.  
¿Cuándo tiene Indonesia la intención de notificar esta prescripción?  Solicitamos a Indonesia que presente su notificación lo antes posible.    
 Además, seguimos interesados en las preguntas que formulamos a Indonesia y que figuran en 
el documento G/VAL/W/167.  ¿Cuándo presentará Indonesia una respuesta por escrito?

NOTE BY THE SECRETARIAT 
 
 
Further to document WT/INF/148 concerning the on-going work on the CWR, please be 
advised of the following changes to the operation of the CWR: 
 
1. Construction of the walls which will seal off S ector V and IV (first phase) for renovation will 
commence over the next few days.  There will be  two walls and a buffer zone separating the 
renovation activity in Sector V. Every measure will be taken to ensure that these walls are sealed so as 
to keep out dust. 
2. All toilet facilities as well as the two elevators at the cafeteria end of the CWR will be out of 
commission during the renovation of Sector V. 
3. Access to the 4th floor cafeteria will take place via the 3rd floor, south parking side.  Staff 
and delegates are kindly requested to use alternative elevators to reach the 3rd floor.  The service 
elevator will provide disabled access from the 3rd floor to the cafeteria. 
4. FIPOI and the WTO Security and Safety Section are currently in the process of finalizing the 
identification of alternative emergency exits that will be in operation once Sector V has been sealed 
off for renovation.  A separate email with plans will be circulated as soon as possible. 
5. As from 2 March 2009, there will only be one UBS Bancomat available in the current 
location.  It is anticipated that UBS will provide  for a second Bancomat some time in mid-March. 
6. The bulletin boards in front of the UBS Ba ncomat will remain in the same area.  
7. A post-renovation model office will be open for view and visit from 2 March 2009.  This 
office can be found in room 55 on the ground floor.
